[Game thread] Skull Ruins Pokerole

[PhantomUnderYourDesk]

While Heart watches, Shiva orders her two Pokemon to create music.
Braixen lets out a very successful Lucky Chant, right to the beat of Grumpig! Grumpig's eyes start to widen.
Then Kyuu takes the stage, doing a dance a bit like Grumpig's. Unlike Grumpig, Kyuu's dance is an eclectic mix of various styles and rhythms. Shiva can't even make sense of it, but there seems to be a pattern in Kyuu's mind if no one else's. 
Grumpig hates this other rhythm, and he sits down on his tail and crosses his arms and refuses to dance.
The weird tempo disrupts Braixen, and he can no longer manage to keep the beat. The effects of the Lucky Chant linger, but the music ends abruptly.

Huh, this was partly a pleasant success and partly a blatant failure. At least it seemed like Kyuu had his fun.

Mental note: If ever participating in Pokemon Showcase, train a lot with Kyuu if he shall join a performance.
Noted. Maybe use a different Pokemon for that sake. Aria has a won the Master Class Tourney with her Braixen.
Hmhmm.

Shiva prefered not to make much of a scene out of that failure, and waved her psychic kitten back to her to hand him a pirsifberry cookie. "We tried, and it was...interesting to see what you can do. Now rest a little, dear one..." He's withdrawn, and Shiva casts an apologizing look over to Grumpig that clearly said 'Well, this didn't work out. Let us try again.'

Before we attempt again however, this look evolved into a rather calm look. "That tune you're following... It seems to be linked to your wellbeing, isn't it? Then you shall have all possibilities to follow that tune... But the other Pokemon here don't appreciate being startled because you cannot. That's why I am here. Braixen, concentrate and find the beat again, chant and howl to it... if it helps, I can follow you or guide you with...where did I put it... ah, this thumbharp."

Mechanics:
Seems like Grumpig is more of a manipulative psychic performer than a battler or a harm? If he displays to be, then I do have an idea of what may help him feel better in the long run.
